Hi everyone. This is my first post. I'm a writing some stories and articles so I thought this would be a good forum to ask about certain things so I can get things right. Anyway this is my first question.

The human body generates an electromagnetic field, and this field can be detected with certan electromagnetic field meters. Waht I am wondering, how large and powerful is this field, do certain body parts generate more powerful fields than others, and does movement in the body effect the field strength.

Also, would you be able to point be in a direction, either in print or online, where I might be able to research this more?

I can't give you exact figures, but it is not very strong. Most people can't detect other people's electrical fields unless they are less than a foot away. Trained "experts" in the ability might sometimes detect someone within five feet. As it is, all matter has an electrical field. It is just that our fields are slightly amplified by the electricity in our nervous system, but just barely.

i found this because i am looking for a picture of maby how big these electromagnetic fields are. then i saw the responses to this post... the guy who asked the question must have been thoroughly disappointed with the responses maby that's why his account lasted only 3 days... the electromagnetic field around your heart can be detected from several feet away, as cool as that is i really don't think this would affect any compass because the electromagnetic field of the earth can be detected at least as far away as the moon is... that is really powerful. you might not notice it but you are feeling the earths magnetic feild right now, unless you are crawling around on your ceiling or holding on to a tree for dear life. yet somehow you are not so bound up by gravity that you cant easily jump. sometimes i feel the electromagnetic feild of my hands but i can resist that with nearly the same ease of standing up, weird.

It is big news that Industrial Equipments can affect living thing which has prolong contact with it. A lot of Industrial Equipments is in everyday use and in near places where people live and stay like homes and buildings. Industrial Equipment usage cannot be stop because it is already part of everyone's every day way of life.

Electromagnetic's - you have to love it. Its surely close to all of our hearts. There are now foreseeable i pods running on nano-generators powered by cardiac electric activity and not requiring batteries!! Now if they can just get an automobile...SEE: http://www.reghardware.com/2011/03/30/n ... arge_ipod/

The fields are weak, but can be detected with specialized equipment, including by animals such as sharks (it would be stronger in salt water).

There is very little evidence demonstrating effects of extrinsic fields on human health (or some, if you include all microwave fields). A study of electrical line workers found that they had no extra risks (beyond things like electrocution and falls) compared to a well-selected group of controls. In fact, they were healthier, probably due to the physical, outdoor nature of their jobs (that was the conclusion of the researchers).

I've studied different sciences and none of them led me to the answer of this question I found in my own body. It's not exactly visible, or at least not with the equipment we know of but it's absolutely tangible. There's no doubt in my mind. I began meditating and soon after I discovered some very real feelings of electricity in certain areas of my body. After some more research I found names for these areas called Chakras. My experience is hard to put into words but all I can say is that the human body is more powerfully electric than we can even imagine. My journey is one that I hope every person can experience. If you'd like to feel how electromagnetic your body really is then sit quietly and listen to what it has to say. Here's a great link that discusses the electromagnetism of the heart (which is the center Chakra) and how it circulates energy. http://www.heartmath.org/research/scien ... tions.html

HI all, electromagnetic fields generated by human body, JJrakman started this conversation with few questions almost 6 years back. Still now exact answer. Like him, I am also having same questions as my own body generation some sort of energy, i feel it. After some research I was came to know that it is electromagnetic field generated by body few yeas age. Still I am having so many doubts. Hope this forum will give few answers. Please friends, participate in this conversation, so that we can explore/share our knowledge, may give at least few solutions to the world.

As per my observation, * It is generated by our heart, brain, nervous system, may be glands and even skin. I would like to call this energy as Bio-Electromagnetic field (BEMF). I observed this fields mostly around head, ear ends, palms and feet (where the body have more nerve connection ends). * Especially i feel more when I lay down on bed to sleep, when more thinking or planning alone.* Some times I feel like something is twisting me around, and sometimes some kind of layer wrapped my hole body* Its generation related to temperature

I think, BEMF show negative effects to one's body. I know any emf can show negative effect, but I am indicating in a way that, BEMF may show its effects related to change our way of behavior, unable to think properly, unable to perform upto one's own levels, hormonal system can get effect, etc

What you say guys.... May I know know what is the exact point/reason for generation of this field. cont we obstacle with any technique ? waiting for your replay

From what I have researched, the human body produces more positive than negative magnetic fields. Harmful pathogens ie virus, bacteria, fungi, cancer mimic the positive magnetic field with greater strength and thus win out against the weaker natural positive magnetic field of the human organism. Thus external negative magnetic fields have been found to have great therapeutic effects on the human body when applied to affected areas. In other sources, a combination of positive and negative magnetic fields is applied therapeutically, with less gauss then uniquely negative fields, to provide beneficial outcomes.

The human body produces EMF - as the last person posted: B-EMF, for biological electro magnetic field. I am interested in not only how EMF affects the body, but how much and what kind of BEMF the body emits at different points (taking into account previously posted observations of increased EMF sensation at nerve saturated clusters ie/ head, hands, feet). I thus take this string of comments back up to our title: Electromagnetic fields generated by the human body.

More than one person here has mentioned feeling the EMF of their own body. I have followed simple exercises in some reading to come to the same conclusion: repeated slow pushing of the 2 hands towards each other in a gradual prayer position will demonstrate the feeling of [i]resistance[i] (electrical resistance) over a slow repeated course from 10-20 times. I'd like to know whether such a magnetic field can be measured, and what sources would be best for further research, in addition to whether there is a thermal component when measuring BEMF.

This said, I have questions about where and how negative vs positive magnetic fields are found and measured. Of notable interest is the magnetic field formed by the widely used DC (directed current) in our electrical systems, and of course how the human body figures into all of these questions.

There are many research institutes investigating the electromagnetic fields both within the human entity, but also in our environment. Some "stray" fields have very deleterious ramifications and, at the least, can disrupt one's own field. Obviously, the medical community recognizes such a field(s) in the human body, i.e. EKG.We are such an institute, ISHSEF (Institute for Studying the Human Spirit as an Electromagnetic Field). Our research delves into human to human relationships as did some of our forerunners: Einstein, for example. We also seek to understand our relationship to not only The Creator, but also this creation we live on, Earth.The fields can be examined both qualitatively and quantitatively (this faction (measurement) is still being investigated as rather new.)Consider for pondering, what draws or repels one human from another. Most believe it to be sexual. We do not totally concur. Might it be spiritually or electromagnetically? This genre of study is most probably the venue for the control and prevention of most "disease." Consider that a healthy metabolism which incorporates efficient electrolysis in the cellular/systemic human body benefits immensely from balanced ingestion of electrolyte type substances and cell-building proteins. Our major problem with health is fuel intake and its usage. One final thought: God said, "Let there be light" and blew life into the human. Light is most commonly produced by electron movement. Food for thought.
